For Mimi in La Bohème with Nevada Opera:
"Guiping Deng as the doomed Mimi performed with stylish grace and an underlying 'edge' of manipulative feminine wiles. Her luminous soprano voice was satiny and showed stunning control."
Naomi Grady, special to the Reno Gazette-Journal, 10/30/99
"Soprano Guiping Deng, also a superb Puccini artist, sings the doomed Mimi from the heart, with warmth and feeling. Miss Deng's 'Mi chiamano Mimi' is radiant. Her finest moments come in Act III, where the sincerity of Mimi's grief allows none of the sentimentality that often diminishes the poignancy of this scene.
Jack Neal's Theatre Reviews, 10/29/99
